SW7 round table goes swell

18.May.1988

The semi transparent Alec Guiness 

Yesterday the Star Wars characters that profess that their actors were the characters and that the characters themselves were and are real met at the round-table 'SW7' summit meeting at County Hall.

The attendees were the Senator Lucas and, in full costume, Darth Vader, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Princess Leia Organa of Alderan, Han Solo, Chewbacca and Lando Calrissian. 

They currently make up the 'SW7', the new State council.

Notable absentees were Luke Skywalker, Yoda and Emperor Palpatine. And of course, the lovable double act C3PO and R2D2.

Rumours are rife that Lucas is actually Palpatine, as the two have never been seen in the same room at the same time. It is also reported that Obi-Wan Kenobi, played by the late Sir Alec Guiness was believed to have been seen as being semi-transparent. 

When asked about the whereabouts of the also-lovable and powerful Jedi master Yoda, Lucas is quoted as saying 'oh he was just a puppet made by Jim Henson. We had to have something for the kids.'
